Sure, we regularly drop some serious bills each year to make sure our homes are a reflection of who we are, i.e., sleek, smart and stylish. But have you ventured out onto your patio, terrace, or balcony lately? If you're like most of us, the
California sun has weathered and washed out every ounce of life and now, out in the
plain of day, all that's left is a rusty beer can crammed full of cigarette butts (remember your in-laws impromptu visit over the
Labor Day?). Well, it's high-time to revive your outdoor retreat and add some, much needed, style and spunk.
Design Within Reach is your one-stop shop to put together the perfect, fashion-forward patio (guaranteed to be the sunny-day destination for all your friends and family). To start, you'll need a truly great outdoor dining set and for this, look no further than the Denab picnic-like table. According to DWR,
"…with its slatted teak top and aluminum frame, it's where nautical teak meets urban minimalist." Next, you'll want to pick-up a pair Karmin Rashid, Kite Chairs. Big and bold, these kite shaped gems are great for lounging and will double as a surefire way to get those, pre-cocktail, conversations going. Lastly, plan to finish the look with a few Bloom Pots. These oversized planters are not only designed to hold your horticulture, but will add just the right amount of mood lighting for a late evening get-together or midnight rendezvous.
There you have it, the perfect patio made easy. Now all that is left is to get one of those industrial stainless grill-things to cook-up all your grub. Of course to get one of those, you'll have to venture outside the chic and comfy confines of DWR and get in touch with your inner-butch-boy-self at your local hardware shop.
